Kwai Hing () is a station on the MTR's line, taking its name from the adjacent public housing complex. Positioned above ground between Kwai Fong and Tai Wo Hau, it commenced operations on 10 May 1982 and is distinguished by its vivid yellow color scheme.
The introduction of this station resulted in the discontinuation of most direct bus services to Kowloon, thereby optimizing local transit routes. It primarily caters to nearby residents and supports numerous shuttle buses serving surrounding residential areas and industrial sites.
Located beneath the platforms is a compact transport interchange that experiences significant congestion due to traffic rerouted from the increasingly busy Kwai Fong station.
History
Kwai Hing station began service on 10 May 1982, coinciding with the launch of the Tsuen Wan line. The construction of Kwai Hing, along with Kwai Fong station and the connecting viaducts, was undertaken by Dragages et Travaux Publics. Since its inception, the principal upgrade has been the addition of Platform Screen Doors.

The twin tracks serving platforms 1 and 2 lie adjacent at the core of the station. Unlike many other MTR stations featuring an island platform, Kwai Hing employs two separate side platforms, necessitating passengers to use distinct escalators from the concourse to access each platform.
Kwai Hing is one of three elevated stops along the Tsuen Wan line, together with Lai King station and Kwai Fong station. Its design bears a strong resemblance to that of Kwai Fong station.
